RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!
Mike has recovered from the illness that prevented last week’s episode, heralding the coming of April’s Best In Tune Special!!!
SHOW NOTES:
True Story: Prior to the mix of this episode, I was waiting at a bus stop with my MP3 player blasting to pass the time. I usually have it on shuffle which can be hit-or-miss as sometimes, the same few songs will always play, no matter what I do. So there I am when all of a sudden, the weirdest thing happens.
Both the opening and ending themes for Friday ACE play one after the other.
In a way, I guess it was just a little reminder from The Powers That Be that I needed to actually do an episode this week, no matter what the cost. Next episode will see a return back to the regular routine, given that most of the crises will have been taken care of by then. Until then, shoot me some email ([email protected]), spread the word, and take care!
